Charmander is a bipedal, reptilian Pokémon with a primarily orange body and blue eyes. Its underside from the chest down and the soles of its feet are cream-colored. It has two small fangs visible in its upper jaw and two smaller fangs in its lower jaw. A fire burns at the tip of this Pokémon's slender tail, which has blazed there since Charmander's birth.

The flame can indicate Charmander's health and mood, burning brightly when the Pokémon is strong, weakly when it is exhausted, wering when it is happy, and blazing when it is enraged. It is said that Charmander would die if its flame were to go out. However, if the Pokémon is healthy, the flame will continue to burn even if it gets a bit wet and is said to steam in the rain. As shown in Pokémon Sleep, Charmander is known to sleep while curled up.[1] Supposedly, Charmander is drawing warmth from the flame on its tail. During quiet nights, the sounds of its flame can be heard by listening carefully while Charmander sleeps. Charmander has four different sleep styles: Crackling Sleep, Tummy-Rub Sleep, Tummy-Up Sleep, and Atop-Belly Sleep.

Charmander can be found in hot, mountainous areas. It has been recently seen living in the Terarium of Blueberry Academy. However, it is found far more often in the ownership of Trainers. As shown in Pokémon Snap and New Pokémon Snap, Charmander exhibits pack behior, calling others of its species if it finds food and watching the flames on each other's tails to ensure they don't go out.

After falling through the mysterious tunnel, he almost lands into a pool of molten la, only to be sed by the La Zone leader, Blaziken, who takes him in as his pupil and trains to become stronger.

Trivia $1 coins from Niue Charmander, Cyndaquil, and their respective evolutionary lines he exactly the same base stats in the same distribution. Niue released a one-dollar coin featuring Charmander as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Charmander on one side and the nation's coat of arms on the other. Concept and development

Charmander and its evolved forms were designed by Atsuko Nishida.[2][3]

Design variations

In its Generation I sprites and original key artwork, Charmander is depicted with a small line of spikes on its back. These spikes are also seen on Blue's Charmander in the Pokémon Adventures manga, where the spikes are larger and easier to see, and on Green's Charmander in the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga.

Additionally, Charmander is depicted with an inconsistent number of fingers in its designs. The original sprites designed by Atsuko Nishida for Pokémon Red and Green featured three fingers, while the artwork Ken Sugimori drew based on those sprites had four fingers. Currently, the animated series, movies, and specials, as well as artwork unrelated to games and merchandise, use the three-finger design; while the key artwork used since Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, as well as the games' 3D models and artwork based on those (such as artwork for Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!), feature the four-finger design. The number of fingers used for TCG card art often varies between illustrators, and even within a single illustrator's works; compare Boundaries Crossed Charmander and Generations Charmander, both illustrated by Akira Komayama.

Red and Green sprite Generation I back sprite Generation I art Key art XY series art Corporate art Origin Bulbanews Bulbanews has an article related to this subject: On the Origin of Species: Charmander

Charmander's design was based on Charizard in such a way that it was surprising to see it evolving into the latter Pokémon.[4] In particular, Charmander was designed as a lizard.[4] Based on its name, Charmander is also based on a salamander, which are amphibians that physically resemble lizards. In folklore and mythology, salamanders are often thought of as fire spirits capable of surviving in extreme heat or flames. As Charizard is based on a European dragon, Charmander's lizardlike design seems to reference how Western dragons in folklore are heily inspired by lizards and other reptiles, as well as how various types of lizards are likened to (and named after) dragons due to this connection. Its bipedal design resembles a baby theropod dinosaur.

Name origin

Charmander is a combination of char (to burn) and salamander, as stated in the January 1999 "POCKEMON JOURNAL" on the official Game Freak website.[5] Alternatively, in a 2016 interview with Tsunekazu Ishihara by INSIDE, Charmander is stated to be a combination of charcoal (carbon residue produced by strongly heating wood) and Salamandra (a genus of salamander including four species of fire salamander).[6]

Hitokage may be a combination of 火 hi (fire) and 蜥蜴 tokage (lizard), forming together the word 火蜥蜴 hitokage (mythical salamander).
